New US ‘Bachie’ Season Canned Mid-Shoot After Alleged Hot Tub Incident

The new season of US Bachie spinoff Bachelor in Paradise has run into some, uh, trouble. 

According to E! News, the show, which features contestants from previous seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette shipped off to an island in the hopes of finding ~the one~ yet again, has been unexpectedly wrapped after “allegations of misconduct“.

The news has been corroborated by this fan spot of the entire crew at the airport:

??Was sad leaving Puerto Vallarta BUT THEN this happened at the airport!!?? Too FUN!! #thebachelor #thebachelorette #bachelornation I wish I would’ve seen Chad though!! #TheChadBear #WellArmed4Life

The statement from Warner Bros. does not shed much more light on the matter:

However, Amy Kaufman, a journalist who’s currently writing a book on The Bachelor, has provided some Very Interesting Tweets that might point to what’s actually going on.

I just spoke to a source who says he knows why “Bachelor in Paradise” was just cancelled. Here we go:

From this point forward, things turned into “soft core porn.” They did not have sex. But it was very raunchy.

The following day, Monday, a producer who witnessed this hook-up did not show up to work.

My source was told a producer filed a “third party complaint,” to clarify my above comment.

So… a producer on notorious snog-fest The Bachelor saw a couple “getting raunchy” in a hot tub and chucked a hissy fit?

That seems… weird.

This makes no sense. They weren’t hurting anyone during their make out sesh. And isn’t that the whole premise of the show? Seems off

Still confused. I mean this show is all about the hook ups. Didn’t a producer witness last season’s raunchy pool make out session?

Though there are apparently rumours circulating that there may have been an issue regarding intoxication and consent, which if true would make the whole thing a lot clearer – and a lot more serious. 

Reality TV, my friends! Look upon the chaos we have wrought, and despair.
